Definitely solid enough to be useful. I'm about to print my second set of RF PCB's based on the simulations with it. There are still some quirks where you have to read the manual a couple of times until the right order of commands "clicks". But there are good examples that can be followed and they seem to be expanded all the time.
Going into the RF field myself, I've been troubled with the license costs of tools like HFSS and CST. After a brief test of the open source tool OpenEMS I've landed firmly on the newer open source tool EMerge (https://github.com/FennisRobert/EMerge). It's a little rough around the edges still as it was released in the fall. But I've already gotten good results from it designing my own RF hardware.
Apart from that I wonder how much of the resurgence can be traced back to more active conflicts around the world? There is a booming Drone and EW development within the military sector which could be what drives it?
Sounds nice, and they even have the good stuff on github with an explaining how-to article on medium.
If you're into Digital Pathology and Whole Slide Image (WSI) analysis then there is a whole undergrowth of open source tools and projects to dive into. I especially like QuPath by Pete Bankhead (https://qupath.github.io/). It has a more accessible interface than python (as in the article), it supports various machine learning algorithms and also has some nice video tutorials (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk5fn7cjMZFsQKKdy-YWOFQ).
Oh, memories. We also made a lightweight channel service to take the load off of Q. I think it was a little before newserv came into production. We designed it over generous amounts of whisky in a suburb to Stockholm. It's on github (https://github.com/quakenet/lightweight).
The article and paper lacks any indication of the amount of energy needed to run such a magnetic field. What amount would it take to run it, and what sources of energy would be viable for it?
I thought about FB integration, but decided against as I wanted to have a transparent privacy model. In my opinion the privacy becomes somewhat opaque when FB gets involved. I'll give it a second thought though. The natural viral factor is appealing.
Ads are somewhat obvious. If I placed them on the comment page related to each link it might be possible to make them somewhat targetted. I hadn't thought about sponsored content, thanks. It probably ain't relevant yet though, I guess the site needs a certain size before it comes to that.
Nice little site. I like the simplicity of it. A couple of points:
- It is not immediately clear to me (FF3.6, Ubuntu) that it is a textarea above the Create Code button on the frontpage.
- Marking the code and then pasting it in Ubuntu gives me all the code on one line (both ctrl-c/ctrl-v and mark/middlebutton).
- The privacy model doesn't seem obvious to me when I'm on the frontpage. Is the stuff I post public, semi-public or private? If the privacy model is public a listing of the latest or most linked code snippets could be an idea.
- I miss a link to the frontpage when I've looked at a code snippet.
